Guess what?,,,,,,, I'm taking art requests for Pokemon Reborn characters! :] I'll also answer asks for character headcanons and things like that, just whatever you wanna drop off in my ask box - it's always open! Feel free to ask for anyone!

Take Bennett, since he's one of my FAVORITE charaters! This is the style they'll be in.

I'll work on some OC art later, but Reborn brainrot is strong!!!!

Drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep!

Soooo,,, we have so much we wanna do.

We share a fanfiction that stretches across three (yes, THREE!) Pokemon fangames. These games are Reborn, Insurgence, and Uranium. It's a super duper edgy, angsty AU that's still in progress. Here's a WIP of Sable, our MC from Pokemon Insurgence :D Drawn by Vee!

Another project that we're working on is creating a fanmade pokemon universe. It'll feature original Fakemon, fanmade megas, regional forms, a new type, original characters, a (hopefully) detailed map, a crew of main villains, secondary villains, a somewhat coherent storyline, and a league complete with gym leaders, an E4, and a champion. It's not gonna become a real fangame anytime soon, just more so a story.

It's called Pokemon: Apocalypse, and it's based on the real-world region of Italy!

It'll have themes of internet cultures, horror movies, doomsday scenarios, and, of course, Mama Italia!

Here's some works for now, enjoy!

Hello! A request for Taka, mayhaps?

I believe Taka would really love music, so he plays the flute to calm himself down and escape from his problems! (He owns and plays the collection of glass flutes from the Pokemon series, but what he's playing here is a wooden Irish flute! Sorry if I drew it wrong!! I think I made it too long :/)

Gave him a lil' redesign, more in line with my idea of what he'd look like, I hope it won't bother you!

Yesterday, Vee ( @flowerveil02 ) and I spent all day writing and planning stuff for a scary story/creepypasta we made up, and we had a blast!!! Nothing vaguely pokemon related, but we had so so so much fun!!

It's called The Dust, and it's about a parasitic pollen from space that brings about the apocalypse! It has all kinds of edgy and depraved stuff in it! If anyone wants, I could share some of the details in the comments. We might even work on posting it!!!

Plz give me an excuse to talk abt it!!!!

First day of Inktober, y'all!

Day one: ZOMBIE!

He's out for braaaaains! Naw, just kidding! He's probably looking for the newest video game or sum'n. (Also, the arrow's a prop!) Thanks to @flowerveil02 for the border design!

No border version

I literally love him so much!!!!

[nommyzommy]

If you're still taking Reborn art requests, could I ask for a Zero, please?

They listen to Skillet and Breaking Benjamin ALL. THE. TIME. I just know it. I feel it in my bones.

I hope you enjoy this redesign of him! (If it isn't pretty clear by now, I'll redesign ANYTHING if given the slightest chance! It's my weakness!) Punk and street fashion really fits him!

I've finally caught the time to explain some for Reborn: Rainbow! So let's gooooo!!!!!! (Yayyyyy, I'm getting to talk about some of our original stuff!!!)

As explained by @flowerveil02 in an ask recently, Reborn: Rainbow is a special AU of Pokémon Reborn that combines elements of both the Zekrom/Black and Reshiram/White routes! (So obvious spoilers ahead!!! Those will be under the cut, though.)

First, let's introduce our protags!

Ever After Cozmyx

25y/o, They/He/She/Zi

Ever ( @flowerveil02 's OC) acts as the main protag. They're incredibly valiant and competitive with a huge compassion for everyone. They hail from Tandor (Pokemon Uranium) along with the rest of the protags. While she's normally a logical thinker, she does think with her heart a lot. They're super friendly and mothering to all of their peers. Along with Sable and August, he busts his ass to protect the region and sometimes becomes absorbed in these responsibilities, also helping out a whole bunch with Reborn City. Above all, they're the best friend you could wish for!

Sable Morgan Umbra Cozmyx

23 y/o, She/Her

Sable (my OC) is Ever's sister by adoption. She's a reckless goofball often driven by her emotions. Casually, she's a go-with-the-flow kinda person with a huge sense of humor, but when she's started, she goes OFF. She deeply cares for those who can't defend themselves and often sees a younger version of herself reflected in them. She's the douchey bigger brother friend with dumb dog energy.

August Asterian

22 y/o, He/They

August ( @flowerveil02 's OC) is Ever's cousin. He's a daydreaming romantic who believes in the good in everything. As a lover, they never pick fights and will always choose pacifism and redemption. He's a really mellow guy with a huge, soft heart in pursuit of happiness. They prefer to hang loose, although they're courageous and brave in the face of danger.

SPOILERS FOR GAME LORE BELOW!

Below the cut is story-building, so spoilers for game lore!!! None of this is set in stone, and we're going to be updating the AU frequently.

This is gonna be really long, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Reborn: Rainbow is set in the in a different timeline than the main game. The timeline reset never occurs in this universe because our protag, Ever, survives the train bombing the first time. This means that differences caused directly or indirectly by the timeline reset aren't relevant or never occurred. So Anna/Fantasia never makes a wish on Jirachi, Fern doesn't join Team Meteor, Shade remains as Euphie, and Zina isn't sealed away in Byxbision with Giratina, among other changes. This also affects smaller things, like Miss Direction's reading!

Team Meteor has received quite the overhaul as well. The group has a coverup operation called the True Believers. This operation poses as a charitable religious organization in order to lure unsuspecting individuals into joining Team Meteor. It's how many of the younger members wound up joining, either that way or by proxy.

As I've said in an earlier post, the New World is interpreted as a mysterious dimension called the Idyll of Spiritism. It's responsible for a lot of the strange occurrences in the story, along with acting as an alternative reality that the protags and many more must explore to complete their journies. The Idyll can be accessed in Citae Astrae behind a door called the Quartz Door. Like the other sacred doors, it requires a key to open, being the Quartz Key. Instead of being four keys (Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Amethyst), there are five, the Quartz Key being the only key that Phoenix was able to keep through the years. While the Idyll can be temporarily accessed by opening the Quartz Door, its power is contained within, and opening it requires great sacrifices...

Instead of Radomus stealing the Crystal Keys, fashioning them into jewelry, and selling them, the Keys were lost in a very different way. August's mother, which we'll call Lucille after the Pokémon Uranium protag's mom, stole them. She grew up around Pheonix and witnessed Taube and his wife's deaths, so she understood the power of the Keys (she was born in Reborn, not Tandor. August's father, Kellyn, is Tandoran, however).

When August was young, she joined the True Believers while overseas and climbed through the ranks until she was trusted with the Crystal Keys. She then took all five keys to Citae Astrae and opened the Quartz Door. However, this requires sacrifice, so Lucille was spirited away into the Idyll of Spiritism, only leaving behind the Quartz key. Lucille and all four Crystal Keys were spat out of the Idyll and back into reality, leaving Lucille with severe amnesia and trapping a piece of her energy within the Idyll, cursing her. The Crystal Keys were scattered around the Reborn Region, where their eventual owners picked them up and had them fashioned into jewelry individually. Lucille returned to her family in Tandor and hid in fear of Phoenix finding her.

Ever, Sable, and August are some of the only people from the "regular" dimension that can visit the Idyll, although they must first be alseep/unconscious. This is due to a curse that was cast upon them by Solaris/Phoenix when they were young. This happened when Phoenix found out that Lucille's family had come to visit Reborn a couple of years after she stole the Crystal Keys. He wanted to punish Lucille for her betrayal and lured the young trio down into 7th Street and then the Subseven Sanctum, where he attempted to lock them up, resulting in a curse that gave Ever and her family supernatural abilities. The kids escaped, and their families swore never to come back to Reborn.

...That is until Ever decided to go back and find out what had happened all those years ago! Present day, Ever, August, and Sable have returned to Reborn to discover the truth behind what happened when they were young (and get dragged into some crazy predicaments while they're there)!

I think that's it for now! More info on certain characters and their backstories coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Working on some lore and storybuilding for Reborn: Rainbow. Behold, everyone's favorite god of antimatter and the distortion realm-- as a furry/gjinka!!! Also some world lore beneath the cut!

CW: buff shirtless furry god of antimatter, sfw-ish?

Details and more below!!

It's called "Idyll form(e)" Giratina. It's a form that Giratina takes on when it enters a strange place called the Idyll of Spiritism.

The Idyll of Spiritism (called the Idyll, for short) is an incredibly whimsical dimension that exists within the Reborn: Rainbow AU. The Idyll connects directly to Citae Astrae and the New World, and as such, it has very strong spiritual powers and influence. It also has a lot to do with some specific disappearances....

In this form, Giratina's powers are as strong as its Origin form(e). They're a sentient, sapient, omniscient god that can speak human language- now with hand dexterity! (Also, they/it pronouns since they're sentient, now.) Although, they probably don't need hands... It hangs to the side and watches from the shadows but has no intent of harm or malice.

They co-parent child Lin with the help of Arceus, being the "strict-but-somewhat-cool parent" that keeps her away from danger. It's frikkin' HUGE!! Like,,, 40-ish feet tall or something. Literally ENORMOUS!!!

Enjoy Idyll form Giratina! More info on the Idyll soon, maybe! (And yes, I draw furries sometimes! :3 Really buff, giant furries >:3)
